The Neo-Futurists have set the lineup for their 2014–15 primetime season, they announced this morning. The company also revealed that ensemble member Kurt Chiang will join Bilal Dardai in the joint role of artistic director. Chiang replaces the departing Megan Mercier.

The Neos' season begins with INFILTRATION, a preshow performance event ahead of Friday night's Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind (August 8–September 24). Salonathon's Jane Beachy and Joseph R. Varisco team with Neo-Futurist ensemble member Malic White to oversee the selection of performers engaging with the intersection of the underground and the mainstream.

Sean Benjamin's Pseudo-Chum (October 16–November 22) involves a play-within-the-play about shark fishing off the coast of Australia that interrogates the motives of the playwright; Carolyn Shoemaker-Benjamin directs.
